I haven't travelled, I forewent seeing any of my family at Christmas, I've worn masks everywhere, I've followed the now-seemingly-ridiculous direction arrows in businesses and public places.

Yup, no one in their right minds would continue mandating mask wearing beyond when all those who are going to get vaccinated have both doses - in our case, roughly the end of July.
As I said in another thread, the cases are low enough, and theres so little time between now and that point (and even one dose is effective enough against severe outcomes), that it really can't possibly make a significant difference whether the mask mandate comes off now or at the end of the month.
